Probably the best word ever. Cwtch (rhymes with butch) can mean either cuddle or cubbyhole. Grab a glass, relax and cwtch up with this untraditional Welsh red ale - a perfect blend of six caramelly malts and three citrussy American hops.

On tap at Vrteška. Reddish golden-amber body. Creamy aroma, tropical fruit hoppiness balanced with a solid maltiness. Very drinkable, tropical fruit resting on soft maltiness, light bitterness. Yeah, no more descriptors, but this is a fantastic session beer. Loved it!

330 ml bottle, from the Norwegian importer. ABV is 4.6%. Copper to amber colour, moderate white head. The aroma has moderate notes of grapefruity hops, some malts in the background. The flavour is citrussy with dry malts in the background. Bittering hops in the dry aftertaste. Fair enough.

330 ml bottle. Quite clear, amber body with a fine off-white head. Aroma has malt, some biscuit, toffee and citric fruit. Flavor is sweet malt, toffee, hint of toast, citric fruit, dark fruit and decent bitterness. Medium body and nice aftertaste of sweet malt and fruity bitterness. Session amber? At least a tasty and refreshing beer with fine bitterness in combination with a good malt base.

330ml can @ Chez Sophie. Pours unclear deep amber, foamy off-white head. Aroma of malt, fruitcake, floral hop. Taste is smooth, fruitcake malts, some grapefruit and berry fruit hops. Not the biggest red ale fan, but this is rather nice.
